By The Scribe - District races have just about been decided in each WKY district with the exception of the smallest and largest classes.
Caldwell County and Owensboro Catholic (2A), Paducah Tilghman and South Warren (3A), Madisonville (4A), and Graves County (5A) have clinched regular season district titles barring tremendous upsets.
Russellville travels to Mayfield to decide Class 1A, D-1, and Henderson County visits the new McCracken County High School to decide Class 6A, D-1.
Running Wild
Paducah Tilghman's Tre Coleman rushed for 224 yards on 20 carries and two scores to help Paducah... Read More →

By Ram - Football talk always involves conversations about the offense and defense, but there is another unit that helps determine wins and losses. Sure, we all like to hear about the leading rushers, the leading scorers, the leading tacklers, but what about this other specialized unit? We all think of scoring and the pursuit of stopping scorers as key to a victory, but they don’t call Special Teams “Special” for nothing.
Every football team has different schemes for their offense and defense, but what do teams do to give them an edge on Special Teams? Some Special Team units are an after... Read More →

By EyeOfTheTiger - Week 8 Recap
It was a good homecoming week at Beechwood with the return of some fun homecoming activities. There was a homecoming parade featuring floats created by students. There was a bonfire the night before the game. There were alumni reunions on game night. And what made it the most fun was all three high school football teams won their games.
The varsity took on the Dayton Green Devils and wasted little time getting the job done. The Tigers had a running clock at the 5 minute mark of the first half on their way to a 56-0 win. Seven different Tigers scored TD's in this one.

By Bluegrasscard - As things get wild in the states largest metro, they are less so in the second largest metro. In fact things are settling in as the season winds down with the Scott County Cardinals well atop of the Bluegrass area pecking order.
In 6A Scott County has set the bar for 2013. Undefeated and chewing up the local 6A teams - Bryan Station being the latest victim of the high flying Cardinals. Henry Clay is second best in the area. But they were pecked hard by Scott County in the first game. They will have to improve should they meet Scott County in the Regional final. Dunbar, under first... Read More →

By Walter - With the start of each week and the change of weather to colder temperatures, we are getting closer and closer to playoff football. Let’s take a look back at the games from this past week and what the playoff picture currently looks like.
Beechwood 56 Dayton 0
As expected, the Tigers continued to steamroll Class A competition as they handled Dayton and got their first defensive shutout of the year. Beechwood got started with an 82 yard Ethan Stringer touchdown run with 7:10 left in the first quarter and never looked back. Stringer finished with two touchdowns on the night, while... Read More →

By DragonFire - Inside South-Central Kentucky Football (10-21-13)
-Friday night provided confirmation of something that everyone knew already, that Bowling Green (7-0) is far and away the best team in the area, truly without peers. Warren Central (4-4) managed to stay in touch with the Purples through 1.5 quarters by matching them score for score. It was 14 all at the 9 minute mark of the second quarter, and just 20-14 BG heading under 5 minutes in the half. But the Purples' powerful offense was stopped only once on the night and very rarely slowed, a clip that the Dragons just could not hope to match.... Read More →

By thegeneral - A weekly notebook focusing on Boyle County, Danville and Mercer County, with additional info on other nearby teams:
LOOKING BACK
Middlesboro 42, Danville 17
Danville (4-4, 1-1 District 2A-7) turned the ball over four times in the second half and five times in all and lost to Middlesboro (7-1, 2-0) in a battle for first place.
The Admirals were within 14-10 before the barrage of second-half turnovers, which included two interceptions and a fumble at the Middlesboro 1-yard line. The Yellow Jackets recovered one of their own fumbles in the end zone late in the third quarter to start a run... Read More →

By All State Baseball - The 2013 season is winding down with only 2 regular season games left but one of those are district games. Both Belfry and Breathitt County are looking to add another district title to their record and may have already done that. Both teams have already played their toughest opponent in district play and both teams came out victorious. Breathitt County defeated Morgan County, 38-26. Morgan was the biggest threat to Breathitt's district reign but even with a down year, the Bobcats still managed to find a way to defeat the Cougars.
Belfry on the other hand, has yet to play their toughest... Read More →

By Ram - The Week In Review
Raceland 36 Fairview 14
Game of the week in the area, and it did not disappoint. Raceland used a diverse offensive and special teams scheme to throw Fairview off balance. Raceland won the turnover battle 3-0. Raceland racked up over 300 yards of offense with over 200 yards coming on the ground, with a running game by committee. Four Raceland running backs gained around 50 yards apiece. Fairview kept the game competitive though out, but the “Bend without breaking” Raceland defense did not allow any big plays by the Eagles and made them work the ball down the field... Read More →

By Les - Week Nine is championship Friday for half of our Southeastern Six teams.
Yep, Harlan County, Knox Central and Williamsburg have a chance to capture their respective district’s top seed and championship by picking up a win.
So who will lock up their respective district’s top spot, and who won’t?
Well keep on reading and you’ll find out.
Perry Central (4-4) at Harlan County (5-3), 7:30 p.m.
A lot of people have fallen asleep on Tom Larkey’s Black Bears. Just because they have three losses doesn’t mean they aren’t a state contender in their respective district.
Harlan County’s three... Read More →

By Les - If you’re a fan of the Southeastern Six football teams, then oh, what a Friday it turned out to be during Week Eight action.
Four of the six teams won in fine fashion while two lost, as Bell County secured a home playoff game by blanking Corbin while Harlan County moved one step further to a district title by blowing out Whitley County.
Knox Central assured itself one home playoff game with a win against Rockcastle County and Williamsburg did the same thing by rolling past Berea.
With that said, there are a lot of things to talk about before Week Nine kicks off.

By All State Baseball - With the season winding down, here is a recap of all the action throughout the mountains in Week 8.
- Breathitt County 38, Morgan County 26
The Cougars traveled to Jackson to take on Breathitt County Bobcats in what would, pretty much be, the district championship game, even tho both teams have at least one district game remaining.
Kody Thornsberry got Morgan on the scoreboard first, courtesy of a 28 yard run. Morgan would mix the extra point kick and the Cougars lead 6-0. That wouldn’t last long as John Gilbert would return the kickoff 81 yards back for the touchdown,... Read More →

By thegeneral - Offensive coaches have always tried to get the ball in the hands of their best athletes, and sometimes that means the best athlete has to play quarterback.
Craig Yeast did that years ago in his senior season at Harrodsburg, when the Pioneers had no viable options at the position. He couldn’t throw passes to himself, but he could cover a great deal of ground in a hurry.
Chris Crawley-Goodman isn’t the same type of player as Yeast, but he is filling the same role for Mercer County, albeit on a temporary basis. And in two games at his new position, he has proved to be a very quick study.

By AvidTiger - 9 games into this season and who would've thought with all the pre-season hoopla the tigers would be .500 and down to 1 of the original big 3? :no: honestly no one. But with the regular season dwindling down, the tigers find themselves fighting for third place in a division they were believed to win going away. Poor coaching, injuries, and a lack of disclipine has plagued this team all season. The tigers look to get above .500 when they travel to manual stadium to face a squad that has all the confidence in the world.
Offense
The offense definitely showed promise and looked like what the... Read More →
